Who'd bo a Lincoln nuiHt bo groat flf soul, (Calm, strong and patlont, with n lovlng" heart; With wldo ffowii vision to cmbraco the whole; . Not rest too long upon a potty part. A nation's lcador, with a pooplo rent . In factions bitter and by hatrod stirred, ' Can bo like him, our martyred Presi dent, Only If deeds shall march behind his word. ' LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY Died 1S6S Bom 109 B " viJPM' Thy Do Yom Worry . O, why do you worry and why do you fuss It's dollars to doughnuts that things might bo s"wuss' Pray what In tho world aro you hoping to gain "s When, by day and by night, ypu simply complain A laugh is worth moro tliun a river of tears; .An ounce of bright bono than a ton of dark fears; A cheer beats a groan by a hundred to ono, And growllng's a capital habit to shun. To doublo your trouble and add to your care, Keep talking about thorn, yes, no matter where; But would you got rid of your burden of grlof? Forget that you havo them, you'll coon havo relief. If nobody had any troublo hut you, Do you know what I think to you wo would do? We'd encase you In glass and wrlto "Here's a man Unllko any other slnco mortals began." If wo never had storms, no rainbows we'd see, And a great loss that surely would bo; Take heart and tako hopo thon,nnd seek to live so That to others tho right way to Hvo you may uhow.
